Tall: the design and construction of high-rise architecture
This is a guide to both the basics and the details of tall building design, delving into the rudimentary aspects of design that an architect of a tall office building must consider, as well as looking at the rationale for why and how a building must be built the way it is.
Liberally illustrated with clear, simple black and white illustrations showing how the building structure and details can be built, Tall: the design and construction of high-rise architecture greatly assists the reader in their understanding of the building process for a modern office tower. It breaks down the building into three main components: the structure, the core, and the facade, writing about them and illustrating them in a simple-to-understand manner.
By focusing on the nuts and bolts of real-life design and construction, it provides a practical guide and desk-reference to any architect or architecture student embarking on a tall building project.
